Hi ,
The announcement of the iMac in 1998 was a source of discussion and
anticipation among commentators, Mac fans, and detractors. Opinions were
divided over Apple’s drastic changes to the Macintosh hardware.At the time,
Apple was trying to improve its retail strategy. Apple declared that "the
back of our computer looks better than the front of anyone else’s".
Apple declared the 'i' in iMac to stand for "Internet"; it also represented
the product's focus as a personal device ('i' for "individual").Attention
was given to the out-of-box experience: the user needed to go through only
two steps to set up and connect to the Internet. "There's no step 3!" was
the catch-phrase in a popular iMac commercial narrated by actor Jeff
Goldblum <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Goldblum>. Another commercial,
dubbed ”Simplicity Shootout”, pitted seven-year-old Johann Thomas and
his border
collie <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_collie> Brodie, with an iMac,
against Adam Taggart, a Stanford
University<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University>
MBA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBA> student, with an
HP<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett-Packard> Pavilion
8250, in a race to set up their computers. Johann and Brodie finished in 8
minutes and 15 seconds,whereas Adam was still working on it by the end of
the commercial. Apple later adopted the ‘i’
prefix<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet-related_prefixes> across
its consumer hardware and software lines, such as the
iPod<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod>
, iBook <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBook>,
iPhone<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone>
, iPad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad> and various pieces of software
such as the iLife <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILife> suite and
iWork<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWork> and
the company's media player/store, iTunes<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes>
.
